Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Wang Zexu immediately went out and asked Zhan Qing to enter the palace.

Chu Shitong lowered her eyes, raised her glass and took a sip of wine. Today's banquet had just begun. In previous years, everyone had taken into consideration that she was not yet seventeen years old, and there was a limit to the number of toasts she had to make. This year, she was afraid she would not be able to escape it.

Chu Shitong could drink quite a bit, but he couldn't handle so many toasts from so many people at the banquet. Just one glass per person was enough for him to handle.

If I meet a few more people like Chu Shifeng, I will probably fall asleep as soon as I leave the hall today.

As Xu Zhanqing was the only son of Marquis Xiaozhan, his late arrival attracted even more attention. From the moment he entered the hall, people's eyes were on him.

A young man in his twenties is in the prime of his life, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse.

His handsome appearance and tall stature instantly attracted the attention of many young ladies from aristocratic families present.

"Your Majesty, I, Xu Zhanqing, come to see you."

Chu Shiyu waved his hand and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Shitong felt that the voice sounded familiar, so he put down his wine glass and looked up. When he saw the man's mighty figure, the wine glass in his hand shook.

That person...why does he look so much like her sworn brother Zhan Qing?

Because Xu Zhanqing was standing close to the emperor, Chu Shitong could only see his back.

She wasn't quite sure, but the voice and figure seemed too familiar.

Xu Zhanqing said in a clear voice: "I just came back from Huizhou. I heard that today is His Royal Highness Prince Qi's birthday, so I brought gifts to congratulate him."

Chu Shiyu seemed to have a very good impression of Xu Zhanqing. When he heard what he said, he smiled instantly.

"It just so happens that you probably haven't seen Xiao Qi very often. I remember that you followed Marquis Xiao Zhan to the border when you were eight years old. The last time I saw Xiao Qi, she seemed to be only about Mian Mian's age."

"Your Majesty is right."

Xu Zhanqing turned around and went to the prince's seat to look for Chu Shitong. He looked back and saw Chu Shitong sitting there with a dull expression.

Xu Zhanqing was also stunned.

Chu Shitong's mind went blank.

The only son of the Xiaozhan Army Marquis family who was sent to the battlefield and died in the previous life by my design turned out to be my sworn brother in this life???

Chu Shitong came back to his senses and saw Xu Zhanqing staring at him in a daze. He felt that he really deserved to die.

The eloquent Chu Shitong suddenly felt as if he had lost his ability to speak.

At this moment, it seemed awkward to say anything.

He could only cough twice to bring Xu Zhanqing back to his senses.

Xu Zhanqing seemed even more embarrassed, his face already turning red with embarrassment.

"Qi, His Royal Highness Prince Qi?"

He probed in disbelief.

Chu Shitong pursed his lips and nodded with difficulty.

"Mr. Xu, I have long admired you..."

This admission made Xu Zhanqing feel even more uncomfortable.

"Um... His Royal Highness Prince Qi... well... I came here specially to congratulate Shenchen..."

For a moment, his mouth was still limp and Xu Zhanqing's eyes went dark.

wanna die.

Chu Shitong lowered his head silently and tried hard to hold back his laughter.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Xu."

Without even looking at the gift, Chu Shitong quickly asked Bishui to take it.

Xu Zhanqing didn't even know how he got back to his seat.

He only remembered that he almost fell down when he came back, and the young ladies from noble families sitting in the seats were all covering their mouths and laughing.

As soon as Xu Zhanqing returned to his seat, Wang Zexu hurried forward again.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Yuan sent someone from Jingzhou to deliver a birthday gift to His Royal Highness Prince Qi."

The queen instantly calmed down and glared at Concubine Li with a sneer.

Chu Shiyu frowned slightly and said, "Send it up."

Chu Shitong pointed at her chin. She just felt that today was really outrageous.

His sworn brother turned out to be the eldest son of Marquis Xiaozhan.

Chu Shixuan actually traveled thousands of miles to send me a birthday gift.

Magical, it can only be described as magical.

The servants brought up Chu Shixuan's gift, which was even bigger than the one Chu Shifeng had sent.

Chu Shitong stared at the gift from head to toe. The gift was also covered with red cloth, but it was embroidered with some floral patterns in gold thread to represent auspiciousness.

This time it was the queen's turn to be sarcastic.

"It seems that Xuan'er has a really good relationship with Xiaoqi. The gift she gave is even bigger than Laoliu's. I wonder what kind of surprise it is."

Concubine Li said unconvincedly: "It's not the size of the gift that matters, it's the thought that matters."

Chu Shiyu waved his hand, and the servants lifted the red cloth. What suddenly appeared in front of everyone was a jade-carved landscape with a gully on the rockery and lifelike flowers, plants, fish and insects.

The servants brought several buckets of water, and no one knew where they poured it, but the water actually flowed down from the mountains and turned into a waterfall or a river, gurgling continuously, with white smoke rising in the air. It seemed so real and surreal, it was simply astonishing.

Chu Shitong's eyes froze for a moment, then he pointed at the jade carving and asked Wang Zexu.

"Are you sure you didn't take the wrong thing?"

Wang Zexu smiled and said, "His Highness the King of Yuan specially ordered someone to deliver it overnight, and I presented it to you as soon as I received it. How could I have taken the wrong one?"

Chu Shitong's expression was indescribably subtle.

"Then...thank you very much, eldest brother. I will come to thank you when he comes back."

Chu Shitong felt really uncomfortable at this birthday party.

Not only was he forced to drink for the entire session, but when he occasionally looked at Xu Zhanqing, it was so outrageous that he couldn't help but laugh.

It was late at night and the autumn night was already very cold.

The birthday party finally ended.

Chu Shitong was helped by Bishui to get on the carriage. She drank too much wine today. Although she usually had a good alcohol tolerance, she felt a little dizzy.

The carriage seemed to move slowly, and the swaying feeling made Chu Shitong feel even more uncomfortable.

"Clear water."

Chu Shitong shouted, but no one outside responded.

"Bishui? Slow down! Why are you walking so fast?"

The carriage slowed down and Chu Shitong lay on the cold floor of the carriage. She had just rolled off the couch and was too lazy to even get up.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the carriage seemed to have stopped.

Chu Shitong also took the opportunity to get up from the floor, and saw a figure coming in from behind the curtain.

Chu Shitong tried very hard to see clearly, but the candle in the carriage was out and he really couldn't see clearly.

"Clear water?"

"When Prince Qi gets drunk, all you see in his eyes is clear water and not this prince."

Hearing the other person's voice, Chu Shitong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when the figure approached, he hugged him.

Si Jingli's body suddenly stiffened for a moment, and the darkness helped cover his slightly red cheeks.

He muttered awkwardly.

"If I had known you would be so proactive after drinking, I should have gotten you drunk earlier..."

"Ok?"

Chu Shitong reached out to touch Si Jingli's face dazedly, "What did His Royal Highness say?"

Si Jingli said: "I didn't say anything, maybe you were hallucinating."

Chu Shitong smiled. When he was drunk, his smile seemed dull compared to usual.

She lay in Si Jingli's arms, her voice lazy and tender.

"Your Highness, don't you have any gifts for me today?"

"Don't be a jerk. I gave you a gift at the party."

"I'm not talking about the presents that are given on the scene."

Chu Shitong's hands wandered dishonestly on Si Jingli's body.

Si Jingli felt his whole body burning hot, and he had no idea what was going on in his mind. He quickly held down Chu Shitong's moving hands.

"You drank today, so don't mess with me." Si Jingli said unhappily, "If you don't get up to attend court tomorrow, I'll want to see how you get scolded."

"Why can't I get up and go to court?" asked Chu Shitong.

Si Jingli snorted coldly and said, "Because you got angry today, this prince will definitely make sure you can't get out of bed."

This made Chu Shitong laugh.

She kept laughing, which made Si Jingli even more ashamed and angry.

"What do you mean? Do you look down on me?"

"That's not the case." Chu Shitong said, "I just think His Royal Highness is so cute. I must not offend His Royal Highness, or I will never see the morning again in my life, and I will wake up in the afternoon every day."

Si Jingli never expected that Chu Shitong could be so shameless.

It seemed like there was nothing wrong with what she said, but when you think about it carefully, there were all kinds of problems!

Everyone can guess what the word "naked" means. Si Jingli's face turned red when he heard it.

Si Jingli was so angry that he lowered his head and bit Chu Shitong's lips hard.

Not to be outdone, Chu Shitong pushed Si Jingli down on the couch.

The young master was not strong for long before he was embarrassed by Chu Shitong's increasingly bold actions and could not help but scold: "Chu Shitong, you are still in the carriage, don't move!"

Chu Shitong smiled nonchalantly, and said in a long voice as if teasing a kitten: "Your Highness is so fierce~"

Her voice now had a hint of hoarseness and laziness besides being cold, and Si Jingli could hardly control himself after hearing it.

However, Si Jingli is a person who cares a lot about his reputation and he will definitely not allow anything that would embarrass him to happen.

"Don't move, go back to your house first."

Chu Shitong held him and kissed him again and again.

"What about after we return home?"

Si Jingli was so embarrassed that he couldn't open his mouth.

Chu Shitong continued to ask in a mischievous way.

"What happened after you returned to the mansion? Your Highness, why didn't you say anything? Is it because you felt that you couldn't do it, so you didn't say anything?"

Si Jingli was so angry that he hugged Chu Shitong into his arms and tied her arms to prevent her from doing anything wrong.

Si Jingli whispered viciously in her ear: "How dare you look down on me? Don't forget how I made you unable to get out of bed last time!"

"Your Highness, are you telling me how you later cried and called me sister, begging me to do it again?"

Chu Shitong completely grasped the young master's greatest fear, "Since Your Highness is so stubborn, don't beg me tonight. I will not agree to your request."

Si Jingli: “…”

The lawless aura in him slowly faded, and his tone became aggrieved.

"How can that be possible... My sister is the best. She will definitely not leave me alone, right..."

Chu Shitong laughed. Because of the size difference, she raised her head and saw Si Jingli's Adam's apple.

I don't know where the evil intention came from, but Chu Shitong raised his head and bit Si Jingli's Adam's apple.

Si Jingli felt as if his lifeline was instantly grasped by someone, and his whole body tensed up.

It seems...I can't control myself anymore.

"Huh? Why did His Highness come to see me with a knife?"

Chu Shitong touched the thing pressing against his lower back.

Si Jingli really couldn't hold it anymore and urged the driver loudly.

"Can you please hurry up! You're really slow!"

The speed of the carriage increased instantly, and Chu Shitong was almost laughing to death in Si Jingli's arms.

......

The night is as cold as water, with sparse stars and a full moon.

Si Jingli ordered people to falsely report his whereabouts, so he was able to stay in Prince Qi's mansion today.

However, Si Jingli still had some sense of propriety. Knowing that Chu Shitong would go to court the next day, he at least did not make any more trouble.

Si Jingli also drank a lot of wine today. After taking a bath, he fell asleep hugging Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong was just about to turn off the lights when Bishui suddenly came over and handed something to Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong still found it quite strange, but Si Jingli was sleeping beside her and it was not convenient for her to make any noise, so she could only take it in silence.

It's a purse.

Chu Shitong's drunkenness had mostly dissipated, and he remembered that this seemed to have been given to him by Master Wuji several years ago.

The purse was plain and ordinary, and when it was opened there was a note inside.

"Xuan Nu feels pity for you and the wind is rising again, so she doesn't hesitate to waste her time and disturb her heart.

If I hate to meet a place without boundaries, I will bring peaches and plums to Guanyin. "

Chu Shitong closed the note silently.

What does it mean?

What exactly does this sentence mean when Master Wuji wrote it to me today many years ago?

Was she blaming herself for wasting her time in rebirth and indulging in revenge? But if she wasn't here for revenge and succession, what else could she be here for?

If the end of hatred is revenge, and the days of revenge are endless, then will you choose to give up the hatred in your heart?

Chu Shitong glanced at Si Jingli who was sleeping peacefully beside him, and gave the note to Bishui to keep.

She turned off the lights silently and tossed and turned in the dark night because of this sentence.

Those who practice cultivation seem to have some kind of mysterious abilities. Perhaps Master Wuji really has the ability to see through fate and knows that he has been reborn for revenge and to fulfill his obsession.

So that's why I wrote this sentence for myself many years ago?

Or maybe I was overthinking it. After all, Master Wuji, that sloppy old man, didn't look like a true master with such ability.

Is it impossible to avenge all this hatred?

Chu Shitong felt that Master Wuji's words were meant to persuade him to let go of his hatred.

He blamed Chu Shitong for being reborn and taking an unorthodox approach, becoming obsessed with becoming a demon.

But Chu Shitong really thought about giving up the world for Si Jingli.

But every time she had this idea, she always rejected it first.

impossible.

It's impossible to do that.

If she does this, when her other brother succeeds to the throne, won't she live like a prisoner?

If she had to implicate Si Jingli for the rest of his life, she would rather take this path of no return.

Life is only once, and Chu Shitong also knows that she will never have another chance, so she dare not gamble.

If she loses the bet, she will lose both the throne and Si Jingli.

Xuannv... seems to be the goddess that the eldest princess worshipped before?

Chu Shitong could only repeat it silently in his heart.

"Goddess, if you have a soul, don't blame me for repeating the same mistakes... It's just that my brothers... I just can't let go of them..."

......

What Chu Shitong didn't know was.

Ji Shu didn't come back.

When Chu Shitong returned, Ji Shu was not there.
